ONE BRAND DOMINATES THE
UMBRELLA MARKET.
TRADITION
The Knirps story started in 1928 with a revolutionary idea: the invention of the first collapsible umbrella frame. Knirps
was born and the 85-year-old success story began. The innovative pocket umbrella triumphed due to the outstanding
quality of the products and the continuing development of the range of models with different sizes, shapes and colours
– as well as garden umbrellas.. Through this unique combination of innovation, design and quality, Knirps has achieved
a rare status: It is synonymous with the world’s leading pocket umbrellas.

Each Knirps is imbued with the experience from 85 years of umbrella innovation and manufacturing. High-quality
materials, attention to detail and rigorous quality control are part of our company philosophy. For this reason, our
umbrellas undergo rigorous testing procedures, including wind tunnel testing and are laboratory tested for corrosion
resistance. These successful tests demonstrate that our products can be used in the worst weather conditions and
maintain a long life.
INNOVATION
The success of the Knirps brand is based on the historical innovative strength which customers still depend on today.
In order to continue to earn this trust, we will continue to invest all of our enthusiasm, experience and engineering
expertise in technically ambitious products.
PERFECTION
For Knirps, perfection means providing our customers with a product that demonstrates its usefulness day after day, in
accordance with our high standards in design, function, materials and quality workmanship. After all, every Knirps is a
representative of the brand.
SUSTAINABILITY
Knirps is commited to environmental responsibility by creating quality products that last for many years and by conducting repairs through specialty retailers or repair persons. This ensures that our umbrellas are not simply discarded
and replaced by a new product.
